Spezi HealthKit

Access Health data in your Spezi app.

Overview

The Spezi HealthKit module enables apps to integrate with Apple's HealthKit system, fetch data, set up long-lived background data collection, and visualize Health-related data.

Setup

You need to add the Spezi HealthKit Swift package to your app in Xcode or Swift package.

Important: If your application is not yet configured to use Spezi, follow the Spezi setup article and set up the core Spezi infrastructure.

Example: health data collection

Before you configure the HealthKit-class module, make sure your Standard in your Spezi Application conforms to the HealthKitConstraint protocol to receive HealthKit data. The HealthKitConstraint/add(sample:) function is triggered once for every newly collected HealthKit sample, and the HealthKitConstraint/remove(sample:) function is triggered once for every deleted HealthKit sample.

actor ExampleStandard: Standard, HealthKitConstraint {
    // Add the newly collected HKSample to your application.
    func add(sample: HKSample) async {
        // ...
    }

    // Remove the deleted HKSample from your application.
    func remove(sample: HKDeletedObject) {
        // ...
    }
}

Then, you can configure the HealthKit-class module in the configuration section of your SpeziAppDelegate. Provide HealthKitDataSourceDescription to define the data collection. You can, e.g., use CollectSample to collect a wide variety of HKSampleTypes:

class ExampleAppDelegate: SpeziAppDelegate {
    override var configuration: Configuration {
        Configuration(standard: ExampleStandard()) {
            HealthKit {
                CollectSample(.activeEnergyBurned)
                CollectSample(.stepCount, start: .manual)
                CollectSample(.pushCount, start: .manual)
                CollectSample(.heartRate, continueInBackground: true)
                CollectSample(.electrocardiogram, start: .manual)
                RequestReadAccess(quantity: [.bloodOxygen])
            }
        }
    }
}

Example: querying Health data in SwiftUI

You can use SpeziHealthKitUI's HealthKitQuery and HealthKitStatisticsQuery property wrappers to access the Health database in a View:

struct ExampleView: View {
    @HealthKitQuery(.heartRate, timeRange: .today)
    private var heartRateSamples

    var body: some View {
        ForEach(heartRateSamples) { sample in
            // ...
        }
    }
}

Additionally, you can use SpeziHealthKitUI's HealthChart to visualise query results:

struct ExampleView: View {
    @HealthKitQuery(.heartRate, timeRange: .today)
    private var heartRateSamples

    var body: some View {
        HealthChart {
            HealthChartEntry($heartRateSamples, drawingConfig: .init(mode: .line, color: .red))
        }
    }
}
